Install
=======
The recommended method to install this service menu is through *Dolphin*:
- From Settings > Context Menu > Download new services;
- Search for "compose_with_thunderbird";
- Click on the *Install* button and select the localized archive of your choice.
That way the latest stable version is installed, updated, and easily removed from the same interface.
Also, the *Discover* application can install it, but doesn't allow to select a localized version:
- Under Application Addons > Servicemenu;
- Search for: "compose_with_thunderbird";
- Click on the *Install* button.
For debugging purposes follow one of the other methods mentioned on the project page:

Sending the file doesnt work if the path has gaps. There must be a "" missing
Hi konnosseur, tested again with files having spaces and it works for me, which file is not correctly attached? And which actions fail?
The error is with files having comma, unfortunately, as I mentioned in the Github issue, until it is not fixed by Mozilla there is not a valid workaround.
Hello, I made custom mods of your addon to support Thunderbird and Betterbird Flatpak. How can I upload these files, or can I send them to you, so you can upload them, because your product is GPL3 ...
Hi konnosseur, could you use the Github repository?
